Lord of the Flies

[quote=Arraya] The difference between the left and right is the right wants to bludgeon the working and poor classes with a blunt object over their head knocking them out quickly and the left wants to slowly poison them. I will say, a left wing government will be better for social stability and slow the decline. Kind of like a slow boil. I rather the masses get boiling water thrown on their backs.

I agree that there are structural and systemic problems with our society.

I’d rather have a slow boil so that, at least, we have a chance to peacefully transition to a new order. Whatever that new order is, nobody knows.

I don’t think a collapse of the existing order is good.

For example, revolution in the Egypt might have felt good for the demonstrators and their western supporters for a few months. But now they have slower economic growth and more poverty because of the instability. Not good.

You think if only people were smart and voted D that this outcome would have changed. This is just a modern liberal defense mechanism to throwing the poor and working class under the bus 40 years ago. You are, in a sense, blaming victims.

Yes, I’m blaming the victims. But if the victims of the past we able to rise up and fight back with pitch and folks, the victims of today can overcome the psychological oppression that is causing them stress and anxiety.

We have much better health knowledge today. We should use it.

Afx: That bit is freakin’ hilarious. Especially the acknowledgment that the comeuppance, when it comes, will be nasty.

But, for now, I’ll take being white.

Brian: When did you graduate from college? Serious question and not being a smartass. I ask because you resort to polemic, or fall back on certain memes/tropes when challenged. This has the definite whiff of the post-structuralist Political Theory that’s so prevalent on campuses now (and has been since the early 1970s).

I was just curious when you graduated.
